Catharine Maria Sedgwick (December 28,1789 – July 31,1867) was a popular American novelist whose work was much in demand from the 1820s to the 1850s. She set her work in American settings, and combined patriotism with protests against historic Puritan oppressiveness. Her topics contributed to the creation of a national literature, enhanced by her detailed descriptions of nature. Sedgwick created spirited heroines who did not conform to the stereotypical conduct of women at the time. She became one of the most notable female novelists of her time.
